Practicing in a Pandemic: Realtor Dawn Keenan Discusses Trends in the Real Estate Market
Description
Realtor Dawn Keenan of Edina Realty discusses what she sees as positive momentum in the real estate market. She identifies the shortage of homes as a positive factor, especially as compared to the market heading into The Great Recession in 2008. In fact, there is a belief that the real estate market may help lead the economy out of the recession.
In addition, she discusses the safety measures put in place in her industry. For example, there has been a suspension of open houses. Showings include masks, hand washing and other protective measures. For sellers with special concerns they can indicate personal preference notes to address their concerns. There is even an option for virtual showings. Closings have changed so that agents are asked not to attend and sellers and buyers are separated for the closing. She sees real estate activity trending upward and believes this is a good time to place a home on the market, especially in the sub-$300,000 price range.
